This was a really good tent site. Water on 3 sides. It was a beautiful view. The only issue was that a 100 foot cord is required to reach the tent pad. I didn't have one, but my tent was small enough that it fit near the picnic table. It stormed that night and the chiggers were biting, but that's camping! The late night/early morning barges were pretty loud and awakened me a few times and some sort of animal kept snorting outside my tent but never attempted to get in. I saw a huge catfish (or maybe the Loch Ness monster!) try to jump out of the water!The main hiking trail is closed down because of a damaged bridge. That is the only reason I didn't give a perfect score. Campsite #1 had great woman checking us in. She even came around with freeze pops one hour afternoon!Would i go back? In a heart beat!

Had a great couple nights tent camping on my favorite site, but the second night there blew in late afternoon a wicked windshear that took down my tent and the four next to it on the lake's edge. I watched it from my car, where I had taken refuge from the powerful downpour. It was quite a memory, haha. I ended up clearing the campsite into my car and sleeping in it then taking off early the next day. But all in all it was quiet, peaceful, and a great little trip. I'll be back.

Great place to stay, quite, and really nice people. This was first place I stayed before going on my trip cross country. Kayak and enjoy the river peacefully sounds while moonlight was out. Also some good swimming.

Our campsite was right next to the river which was wonderful! We loved watching the beautiful heron that was our neighbor and watching the barges go by - except late during the night. I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the bath facilities - that isn't the case at every campground. My only complaint is that the facility required treated firewood but had none for purchase. Most campgrounds offer firewood so we came with none and as tent campers, that's a very big deal. Overall though, in spite of crazy winds, we had a good trip!
